Description
Mermaid (Mermaid, king-pigeon, royal pigeon, one foot pigeons) Pose is an advanced variation of One-Legged King Pigeon, involving a deep backbend with the back foot hooked in the elbow crease. It demands strong engagement of the back extensors and glutes to stabilize the lumbar spine in the backbend, while the chest and shoulders are drawn into an intense stretch by the reaching arms. Meanwhile, the front-leg hip experiences an intense stretch in the glutes and piriformis, and the back-legβs quadriceps and hip flexors are deeply lengthened by the curved, upright position of the torso. TODO split into open hip and closed hip pigeons
